SEMINAR
Statistical Challenges in Applied Veterinary Science Helen Clough,
University of Liverpool
Wednesday, 9th November 2005, 2pm
The Whittaker Room (211)
Abstract:
The life of a statistician working in the field of veterinary sciences is
both exciting and varied. Through the occurrence of applied problems for
which no "textbook" solutions exist, numerous opportunities to develop
novel statistical and probabilistic approaches occur. I will describe a
number of studies in which I have been involved over the last few years,
ranging from the development of Bayesian approaches to the assessment of
parameter uncertainty in Microbial Risk Assessment models to methods for
assessing spatial and temporal variation in levels of infection of herds
with particular pathogenic organisms on UK-based farms. This is joint work
with a number of co-authors at the Universities of Liverpool, Nottingham,
Lancaster and Massey (NZ) and at VLA Weybridge.
Following the talk, tea and biscuits will be available in Room 304
ALL WELCOME
